Pierre wants new deal but will not skip work outs..

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Saints running back Pierre Thomas was one of the most underpaid backs in football last year, making the league minimum while he led the Saints backfield in rushing.
He is hoping for a long-term extension this offseason, but he won't ...

Pierre can wait until his contract is up then he can get a new deal or we could always trade him for another RB on a losing team.

I'm glad you aren't the GM. Pierre is the best RB the Saints have. A player getting a contract extension when he is a restricted free agent is nothing new. He deserves to be paid more and receive some job security for what he has done on this team. The only reason he is being paid so little is because he went undrafted. Now that he has proven himself, the Saints need to prove to him that they want to keep him in the fold and ink him to a longer contract. If they only give him the one-year tender and don't give him a long-term deal, they are making a huge mistake.
